Guy Caron, the NDP foreign affairs critic, said in a statement that Canada shouldn’t take part in the Riyadh summit.
“When
the Liberal government was elected in 2015, it promised the return of
Canadian leadership on the international stage,” Caron said. “Yet, more
than eight months after committing to review arms export permits to
Saudi Arabia, the government is still unable to give a timetable. In the
meantime, Canadian weapons are fuelling the crisis in Yemen.”
Caron went on to say that the Liberals are “not doing much better than the Conservatives before them.”
